Holiday Movie Rewatch Review – Elf
โ
Elf is one of those rare truly rewatchably joyous, feel-good family films that everyone, everyone likes. I’ve never met a child or even cranky grownup that doesn’t get animated and shout, “Santa! I KNOW him!”, or spout off a very mildly sly or just plain silly line from this highly quotable film, like, “Hi, I’m…

Movie Rewatch Review – The Birdcage
When The Birdcage opened as a feature film in 1997, I don’t remember people being quite so terrified of gay men…so it surprised me, 21 years later, to see such fear in the hearts of the young straight couple to admit the groom-to-be had two fathers. Or, as this movie made clear, one male father,…

Movie Rewatch Review — Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
I don’t know if you can technically call a 26-minute television Christmas Special a movie, but let’s go with it, since it’s almost Christmas, and I owe the nice people who like sappy holiday shows a kind-hearted review. Filmed in 1966 and based off the classic 1957 children’s tale by the beloved Dr. Seuss (who…

Rewatch Movie Review – My Cousin Vinny
โ
Even though this movie was a weird choice to show on network TV, it’s still a super good flick holding up beautifully over time. Why is this a weird choice, you ask? I’ll tell you: it features New Yorkers.ย People who like to curse. In New York, cursing is like breathing, and this movie overflows…

Virgin Movie Binge Reviews — Rocky 1 and 2
Rocky is something I’ve heard about for all my life, but to be honest, I had never seen any Rocky films. The first Rocky related movie I watched was Creed in 2015, and I thought it was a pretty good movie. Now, as Creed 2 is about to be released, I took on a project…

The Grinch Who Keeps Stealing Christmas
With the newest incarnation of The Grinch in theaters this year, we thought it was time to take a look at the history of this mean green creature, who is both dastardly andย oddly sympathetic. How The Grinch Stole Christmasย ย (1957) – The original kid’s book by Dr. Seuss is beloved, and for very good reasons. It…

Movie ReWatch Review – RED
โ
To start with, the title RED in this film is an acronym for Retired, Extremely Dangerous. As retirees, we see these characters don’t have much of a life anymore. That’s the set-up, starting with Bruce Willis’ Frank Moses, lost in an empty house devoid of personal decor. I can see where it would be tough…

Movie Rewatch Review – Deadpool
What is it about popular films on TV and their commercials? It seems the more beloved the film, the greater the number of ads.ย Watching Deadpool with my mother last night, the commercials came hot and heavy every few minutes — I’m positive at least 45 minutes of runtime were aggressively selling something. As opposed…

Movie Rewatch Review – Solo (A Star Wars Story)
I don’t know why so many Star Wars fans have a problem with Solo. All I can think of is that it was released too close to The Last Jedi, which really incited the fan base. Otherwise, I can’t imagine why this excellent film was panned. I loved it, and I’m not sure yet where…
